.osx problem setting default desktop background

[Michael Steeves]

It looks like with newer versions of OS X (I'm on Mojave, 10.14.6) the desktop background you've got in the script no longer exists. When you run the line to update the background the Dock gets stuck in a loop where it's constantly crashing with an error that looks very similar to this one:

2018-08-18 22:05:31.276 Dock[1061:44244] -[__NSCFNumber stringByExpandingTildeInPath]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xe5cdf6a4f4b8bcfb

Yeah; and the method for setting it is different now too; I fixed this in 40aac0f#diff-2b619e5c7c5c228b886e968419fa8db6e3b1edf59d51ec1cd983685aa4869682R55

Thanks for bringing it to my attention though ;)
